Enjoy A Unique Experience

Tipis & Yurts

Two Tipis and five Mongolian Yurts (or Gers) set in beautiful individual secluded sites and a unique handcrafted Shepherds Hut with simply stunning views...

The Tipis...Curlew & Peewit (4-6)

Wild Northumbrian Tipis are stunning structures set in their own piece of wild Northumberland. Go to sleep with sounds of curlews and buzzards. 24ft diameter, 24 ft high with so much room to stretch out, to play, to dream… With a traditional open firepit for heat and cooking Tipis are the emblem of the free spirit, of wilderness and a connection with the natural world. Tod Tipi is now a lovely cosy 14ft Scandinavian Laavu Tipi with a woodburning stove and a wonderful site over lookin the valley

OurTipis are fully equipped:

For cooking… all equipment including a little gas stove (Cook Wild if you can, its more fun!) and a lovely woodburning stove or firepit

All you need to do is bring your duvets/sleeping bags and pillowcases and towels. Bring your binoculars for the Buzzards and the Stars!!

This is wild camping in style. Tipis are ancient structures which are very much a "hands on " experience..or those who are "wild at heart..." .

New for 2014 !! A brilliant eco compost toilets by the Yurts and camping shower available soon. too

NB 1 These sites are very secluded and wild 350 m down the meadow. some people with small children or mobility issues may need to consider Peewit Tipi or one of the Yurts

NB 2 Tipis are natural, organic structures. Tipis are wild camping and not glamping. New for 2014 unique drip catchers from Wolf Glen Tipis that pretty much erradicate drips.

NB 3 New for 2014: A lovely quirky reclaimed wood composting loo and soon a camp shower for Tod and Brock Yurt making them fully independant of the main site. Ideal for wild eco friendly living.
